Kroo has a method to his madness, arcane though it is. He hates high
end audio because it's really about who has the bigger dick, and he
doesn't like that.

However there are some points which you bring up which need
addressing. One normally burns CDs on a PC, because PC's are cheap and
because dedicated audio equipment has features to keep you from doing
exactly what we all do, i.e. burn copies of manufactured CDs. In fact i
have a dedicated PC for this very purpose with two SCSI drives and an
Adaptec card."But SCSI is too expensive!" I bought a server with
Adaptec 2940 card and three SCSI CD burners-Plextors yet-for $75.

As far as using the PC for tests, there is a big difference between
what Arnny advocates, and legitimate uses of PC technology, which
include using a PC equipped with HP-IB to control legitimate test
equipment, and PXI or VXI based equipment usually in ATE setups.
